> Yes, it almost always feels good to cry, except the frustrated crying. That feels bad, it feels like I'm having a tantrum because I can't get my way. It leads to anger at having felt hopeless enough to get frustrated. I mean, really Frustration is such a waste of emotion! So that kind of crying doesn't feel good.
-- I forgot about crying in frustration. You're right - YUK - and not in the least productive and cleansing. Leaves me disliking myself a lot more, especially because I would have allowed someone or something to push my buttons or get under my skin to the point of extreme, internalized anger.
